There was a problem with the prednisolone being too strong for me, since I am not accustomed to using steroids ever. So without hesitation, it was replaced with a milder steroids which gave no trouble. I found Dr. Melendez to be extraordinary efficient to perfection and at the same time, most kind and caring. Thank you greatly for renowned and perfect eyesight!

I feel comfortable going to Dr. Melendez. I had a cataract that needed to be removed and was referred to him. He is friendly and easy going. I am glad that he was the doctor that I went to. He explained everything and I was not nervous at all.

Dr. Melendez is my hero! I did surgeries on both eyes (no pain at any time) and restored my distance and close-up vision so that I no longer needed glasses which no longer worked. Now, at 71, my vision is as good as it was in my 20's!

(Restore Lens Surgery in 2011 20/20)

My experience with Dr. Melendez has been exceptional. I had the Restore Lens and the extra money spent was well worth it. I can see really great for the first time better than with glasses. He is a great doctor and I recommend him to everyone I know.

(Restore Lens Surgery in 2009)
Now I see life I didn't as a teenager. I can see individual trees on top of the Sandia Mountains. I can do all types of intricate needlework without glasses.

Dr. Melendez is everything you look for in an eye doctor - professional, caring, explains conditions in an understandable way, totally focused in his time with you. I trust him implicitly. He's great!

Recommendations are usually "pro forma" but this one for Dr. Melendez is a moral demand. Dr. Melendez performed not only super and excellent surgeries but, with his acute medical acumen realized that I was in dire straights relative to my oxygen levels. He sent me to hospital and truly saved my life. There are no words of praise and thanks.
